Bug 141754 – Firefox 1.5.0.4 fails to find symbol when launched (ppc)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Mark 2006-07-25 21:38:05 UTC]

After compiling the latest Firefox client (1.5.0.4) on my PPC system, I am unable to successfully launch it.  The following error is displayed:

No running windows found
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components/libxpconnect.so: undefined symbol: XPTI_GetInterfaceInfoManager


I previously had Firefox 1.0.7 installed and working.  I tried doing an unmerge, then a re-compile and it did not help.  I also removed ~/.mozilla which did not help either.

Can you try running revdep-rebuild on your system?
